WASHINGTON – United States Senators Bill Cassidy, M.D. (R-LA) and Maggie Hassan (D-NH) penned a joint op-ed in Fox News Digital discussing their recent bipartisan trip to China to meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping. The senators grilled the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) leader on the flow of fentanyl precursors out of China and for its unfair trade and business practices harming U.S. industry.
“Congress is united in working to keep our economy strong and Americans safe against the geopolitical threat the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) poses. We recently joined a Congressional Delegation trip to China to deliver that message to President Xi Jinping in person,” wrote the senators.
“[W]hen it comes to outcompeting China, standing up for our country’s values, and maintaining our military’s cutting edge, Republicans and Democrats are united,” continued the senators.
“By building on the bipartisan progress that we have made on this trip, we have an opportunity to show that the American people will not waver in our determination to defend freedom and outcompete China,” concluded the senators. “We can show the world that even though the American people do not always agree on everything, we will always remain united when confronting adversaries like China.”
